Just read your hot water bath canning tips. I have been canning for years, mainly jam and fruits. I had no idea that glass flat top stoves weren’t a good idea to use. My last house had one and I canned using it and had no problems. I didn’t like the way stove top cooked although it was easy to clean. Makes me think twice about ever buying one again, The vinegar in the water when boiling the jars was new to me about keeping the mineral deposits down. Can the vinegar also be added to the hot water bath? Thanks again for all the great tips and recipes.
